Earthquake 2010

I lived through the Earthquake of 2010. LOL. I can joke about it now cause it wasn't as bad as most can be. It was about a 5 on Richter Scale. Enough to move my bed (which I was sitting in, reading a book) and slightly shake my mirror and some stuff in my closet. It was weird. I thought it was my eyes at first, something wrong with them. Then I heard stuff moving. I then was thinking it was either DH walking around downstairs or someone how moving the wall behind the bed. Then I repeated that last part again, in my head. How could he be moving a brick wall like that, so easily? I hopped up, off the bed, stood there and listened for DS2. He had just been put down for his afternoon nap and literally got rocked to sleep :) I went downstairs and noticed that DH was not in the house, he was outside. Thinking he must of felt the rocking I went out to talk to him. He said he didn't feel a thing. So then I start saying maybe I had a seizure. I was trying to convince myself I wasn't crazy, but no way we had a earthquake. DH said "Why not? There is a big fault in Lake Ontario." That perked my attention. I went back inside and jumped on my Facebook and put it in my status on what happened. Sure enough, A LOT of others started putting stuff on their status lines about the rocking and rolling that just happened. Then the news came on with a report that we DID in fact have a earthquake. Last one was in 1998, a 5.4, so you can see that we don't get them often. It was pretty big too, like being felt across the province and some states wise.

Then later that night a tornado watch was on for us. http://news.nationalpost.com/2010/06/23/tornado-touches-down-in-midland/How is that for apocalyptic activity! Next is the Locust right? JK.

Hope next week is better :)

Best Wishes
